Constanța’s (Romania) port operator, DP World, just started a five-year programme to restore coastal habitats near its container terminal on the Black Sea. In partnership with the local NGO Mare Nostrum and research institutes, the project aims at reintroducing the declining native seaweed Cystoseira barbata. The program will map habitats, plant nurseries, and report on its ecological impact and carbon storage. The Romanian program will also include public outreach, community education, and engagement initiatives targeting local communities and decision-makers to support coastal restoration.
